I was a goth about 15 years ago. But, according to that I still am!

[Ric_]

Hmmm... I fullfilled 19 of those criteria (not 5) - does that make me a goth?

[GrumbleDook]

I think the above site would classify most SysAdmins and Bobs as goths ...

 

I mean ... "expresses an interest in sex"

 

But I think the key ones have got to be ...

-sleeps too excessively or too little [we work flippin' hard ... we *need* to sleep]

 

-demands an unusual amount of privacy [the next teacher that walks into my office whilst I am sat at my computer and say "Whilst you're not busy..." I will give a biology lesson to ... "notice how the human genetalia are not design to be slammed in a desk drawer"]

 

-requests time alone and quietness (this is so your child may speak to evil spirits through meditation) [i suppose trying to put a support call into County support might be construed as speaking to evil spirits ... ok ... I'll let that pass]

 

and my favourite has got to be ...

 

-associated with other people that dress, act or speak eccentrically [Flippin' 'eck ... that clinches it for pretty much anyone working in a school!]

 

I suppose it could be worse. They forgot to mention Harry Potter, Tolkein, Pratchett, Sci-Fi, anything more technologically advanced than the abacus ...
